Augusta, the Garden City

Augusta is nestled on the banks of the Savannah River on Georgia's eastern border.
It is the hub of the 18-county Central Savannah River Area, which also includes counties
in neighboring South Carolina. As the second-largest and oldest city in Georgia, Augusta
embraces its past while looking ahead to the future.

Augusta has been named the most affordable housing market in the country by several
organizations, including the online division of American City Business Journals. And The Wall Street Journal has singled out the area as a draw for retirees looking to stretch their investment
dollars.

With a multitude of cultural, educational, and outdoor activities to choose from,
Augusta is an ideal location – the perfect blend of Southern hospitality and metro
flair.
